Abstract

During the 2023 field season, the Institute of Paleontology, Mongolian Academy of Sciences-Okayama University of Science Joint Expedition Team (abbre viated as IP-OUS JE) excavated several trampled bedding planes in the vicinity of Bayan-Undur town in the southeastern foot of the Bayankhongor province, far western Gobi Desert. These bedding planes yielded abundant track remains of sauropod, ornithopod, medium, and small theropod dinosaurs. The total number of tracks exceeded one hundred seventy eight. Most of these prints are isolated natural casts and concave imprint scattered on the bedding plain. Theropod footprints are tridactyl and vary from 12 cm to 28 cm in length.
